@AnthonySmith IMO the best post on LET in some time. Well played, Sir.
Kudos to the man!
This advice should be pinned to the top of LET for anyone who is thinking of starting any business.
I'd also suggest writing a real business plan. You know, that archaic thing that a large percentage of low end deadpoolers forgot to do before rushing out to rent their server from budget datacenter inc and posting their first offer:
How to write a business plan
Hats off to @AnthonySmith. Just taking the time to put in writing such a wise thinking deserves a big applause.
Some people won't learn from others' experience, and would take their advise with disregard. They need to fail; for them it's the only way to learn life's hurdles.
Step #1: Purchase a dedicated server from one of the many of cheap datacenters. Try buying something with lots of RAM for under $100/month.
Step #2: Get yourself a domain and a PayPal account. Around $12.
Step #3: Get yourself a WordPress template from one of the many template sites out there. Under $35.
Step #4. Make sure you use the words "we" and "CEO" as many times as possible when creating your web site.
Step #5: Get SolusVM. $12.95 (master + slave).
Step #6: Install WHMCS. $12.95.
Step #7: Create a Twitter and Facebook page. Head over to fiverr.com and pay a few people to add thousands of likes to your page and followers to your Twitter. Potential clients will definitely sign-up for your service when they see how many other people are following you. You're legit now. Under $20.
Step #8: Create some $1/month Open-VZ plans and post on LET/WHT.
Step #9: Sell out of plans.
Step #10: Sit back and relax. Be proud of yourself. You can now tell everyone you know that you're a CEO and your business is in high demand.
Bonus step: Now that you're a successful businessman, hit up some forums and pretend to know what you're talking about. Let everyone know that you built your business with hard work and care about your customers. Unlike the other web hosting companies out there, you're in this for the long haul and have a solid business plan.

Yup, sadly most people think it is that simply until they find out they cant live on $250 p/month

Added a word there for you to better reflect the reality of some of the LEB hosts who have passed through here in the past.
